The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

info:
motor is a 2001 Eclipse GT 3.0L 24v v6
210cc injectors
9:1 C/R
MS-II v3.0
spark and fuel
IAC stepper motor
I have been trying to get started for a few days. i DO have correct sensor signals, spark and fuel (checked and rechecked).
i started with 88%/23% of req fuel (calculated at upper: 15.8, lower 5.3)
which was 13.9 and 3.7 respectively. i have been playing around with the starting PWs and i can get a little bit of run with 14.7/4.7 and slight throttle and about 5 sec+ cranking. more or less throttle and she dies. Checked the plugs and they are black, but it wipes right off. any suggestions?
Are you using the based calculated map made by megatune? Is so, try table transforming the VE map by 0.9 until it starts running a little better. Once ou get it warned up a little and the O2 starts reading, you can begin adjusting the VE's.
Also try 2 injections per engine cycle and turn the PW limiting thing to 75%.
It looks lik you need more fuel arond the lower rpms under higher loads, and less fuel at low rpm low loads...you should have a pretty even slope, nit a big flat thing.

and tuning down the inj/cycle to batch or 2 shots might help get it started? i thought that with it at 6, it just reduced the fuel per shot, as the number of shots increased......
Yeah, it does to an extent...but you have time where in the injector is opening and closeing that you don'thave controll over. You just have control over what's inbetween. so say that smallest you can fire is for 1ms(it a little longer but follow me)...with 6 injections, you have 6ms of fuel. That's probably too much fuel at idle...so try knocking the squirts down to 2 or 3 and see if that helps out.
ok, ill see about 2 (bank fire, i dont think i can do any other #s except 1,2 and 6 shots). well ill see as soon as i get my replacement starter lol {somehow im eating up a retaining washer in all the cranking/semi running *shrugs* well at least i have a lifetime warantee on the sucker }
